Absolutely nothing more demoralizing than grocery shopping on a Friday afternoon. I go to the seafood counter and ask for a salmon filet. “Just the one?” The girl behind the counter asks. It always catches me off guard when they ask me this. I’m not one who can hide my reaction on my face. I force a smile, dart my eyes her way and gently shake my head “yes”. I have other shopping to do. Lots of deep breaths and purposeful distractions to keep the tears at bay.
Living an alone life is not for the faint of heart.
